Sporty, mildly restored rare 1970 Olds Cutlass F85 post coupe "S" body type hardtop with strong-running Rocket 350 2bbl engine and transmission that shifts right on time. Great for a gear head that wants a light weight car to race or as a daily driver to take to the occasional car show. Car drives/handles well and makes no noises, has no smoke/leaks.  Solid running car, perfect rumble to the exhaust.  Numbers matching stock Rocket 350 2bbl engine and turbo 350 trans. Power steering and drum brakes. Non A/C car. Has dual exhaust and SS2 rally rims with raised white lettered tires. Body is a beautiful blue/aqua color in good shape and had a re-paint a few years ago. Has some dings and scratches and touch ups. Not perfect but paint and decals are good driver quality and clean looking. Body/hood/trunk lines are straight as an arrow.  Frame and trunk pan solid and floors look good also. No rust to speak of on this car. Interior is in need of nothing. Car is all original stock, with an after-market radio with CD and auxiliary inputs mounted under center dash. 

Recent things done to car include: New front and rear bumpers, chrome lugs and center cap decals, new trunk weatherstrip, radiator, battery, hoses and belts, harmonic balancer, thermostat, carberator, brake booster, power steering pump, water pump, distributor, coil, starter, alternator, hood insulation pad, rear end seal, gas tank and sending unit, heater core, Grant sport steering wheel, new seat upholstery, door panels, carpets and floor mats, head liner and dual exhaust with chrome tips. I also have a set of new 442-style black vinyl side (door/fender/quarter) stripes/decals I'll include at buyer's request.

Please contact me through eBay seller messaging with any questions.  I'm happy to describe vehicle further or clarify any questions you may have.   I welcome and encourage a third-party inspection and am more than willing to make vehicle available to an inspector at buyer's expense before the listing ends.  This is a fun car and ready for a finished restoration or to be enjoyed as-is.

For sale locally also, so I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. Any sale is final.  Car is sold as-is with no warranties implied or expressed.

Thank you for your interest.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
